Of all the personnel decisions the Dallas Stars have made since the 2000-01 season, perhaps none has stung them quite as much as letting winger Brett Hull leave for Detroit via free agency. He continues to irritate and amuse just about anyone who will listen, score goals on those in his way and win. "He's older than dirt and playing as well as ever," said Ken Hitchcock, who coaches and feuded with Hull in Dallas and now is behind the bench in Philadelphia. Of late, though, the...

At Chicago Stadium, 8 p.m. Radio--WIND-AM (560). Kings update--Los Angeles is battling Toronto for the worst record in the league, so the Hawks, who have already lost twice to the Maple Leafs, should be cautious.

Fans look at the Red Wings' Paul Coffey and see the greatest defenseman ever to play back and protect his team's net. He looks more like Frankenstein to opponents, a monster who can rush up ice, too, as if he had wingers' legs and a center's nose for goals. "You could say Glen Sather created me," Coffey, 34, says of his old Edmonton Oilers coach, whose teams also unleashed Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier. "When I came to the league, I could skate, but wasn't the player I am now. He taught...
